The central bank has an estimated $9 billion in reserves, nearly all of which are held outside the country. as of now.

The U.S. is also blocking Taliban access to government accounts managed by the Federal Reserve and other U.S. banks and working to prevent the groups access to nearly half-billion dollars-worth of reserves at the International Monetary Fund, according to those people.

"With the U.S. move to block access to those reserves, the amount accessible to the Taliban is almost 0.1%, Mr. Ahmady said Tuesday."

HOLE LEE FUCK!

I knew WSJ was financially conservative, but when did it turn into a far-right tabloid level shit show?
Just look at the list of popular/related articles in the right column! There's even one advocating for "herd immunity" among the others acting like it was Biden that chose to leave Afghanistan (spoiler: Simpso--err...Trump did it first!), indendiary headlines like Biden telling Afghanistan to "Drop dead" and more!

Sorry to derail the topic immediately, but seriously WTF happened to that site?
